Geeky as I Want to Be

I believe that this may be my most fun semester ever.* My schedule includes, on the English side of my appointment, my Race, Gender, and Science Fiction course, and on the Media Studies side, my Introduction to Digital Media Studies course. And, just for good measure, I’m teaching an overload course at the graduate school, in the School of Information Systems and Technologies, on Digital Media Theory. So I’m all geeky, all the time, this semester, and one day in, at least, it’s completely awesome.

*I mean, the most fun since that semester that I taught the class that you were in, oh lurking former student. Of course.

I miss those classes–I don’t get to read or write much about cyborgs in my current academic environment. But I’m doing my best to keep up with those interests in my free time. Well, as soon as some free time opens up, I’m sure I will be doing that. Anyway, sounds like a fun semester!

I’ll be sure to check out both syllabi–thanks for posting them. And I’ll be creating a course blog (sf@SF) for my sci fi course this semester. BTW, you might head over to Is There No Sin In It? and let A White Bear know about your course when you get a chance. She had a sf post a few days ago.

Here’s the link for sf@SF. And a good part of Wendy Chun’s Control and Freedom is available online. Her Gibson chapter may be useful for your SF course and several others for your digital media course….
